Thursday, August 14, 2008

Would you believe someone's boss actually brought this into the office? (Or should I say, "The Office"? It certainly looks like something Michael would order for an office party, doesn't it?)

I love that someone - either the customer or the decorator - felt that "sexual harassment" needed to be illustrated. And I realize that the decorator can't be expected to be Picasso or anything, but check out how far the girl's feet are off the ground. Either that was the Spank Heard 'Round the World, or she's on an invisible step while Chuckles there digs for gold.

Before you ask, yes, I hear the boss got in some deep doo-doo. Can't imagine why, though; I mean, it's got a big red "NO" symbol over it, doesn't it? And all those spanking demonstrations were purely for educational purposes, so really, what's the big deal?

Ok, so this one seriously cracked me up and I will have to send it to my fiance'. He works with this lady (she's the USDA inspector assigned to his meat processing plant), and she's got a bunch of anti-sexual harassment flyers on the walls surrounding her desk/work area. I'm guessing she might dig this cake.

This cake is so wrong on so many levels. Not only is she floating in the air (or maybe she jumped after being smacked on the rear?) but I think that appendage is supposed to look like her arm...singular. Poor thing is getting spanked and only has one arm to slap back with.

And is it me, or does her head and hair look a little like Olive Oyl?

On the plus side the red circle is a good circle. Almost like they imprinted it first with the lid from the frosting can. ;-)

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this one because obviously someone doesn't get it! I would like to take these guys, sit them down and make them watch the Mel Gibson movie "What a Woman Wants".Like 16 times he should watch it!

I would LOVE to work in a place where this cake was socially accepted...because it is so FREAKIN HILARIOUS!! The guy has to have a great sense of humor...I am SO DOWN with that!!

My hubby surprised me at work one day and I was totally leaning over my desk, (like said "Olive Oyle") and hubby came up behind me and pinched my bootie, (like said "Perve"). I was working at a car dealership....hello creepy car salesman....needless to say my hubby almost got back handed.

Yes, it definitely looks like it could be on "The Office." I know it has the big red circle thingy, but shouldn't the wording say "Stop sexual harrassment" or at least "No sexual harrassment" rather than just "sexual harrassment?"

I know I am so wrong for saying this but I think that was a great cake to break up the hum-drumness typically associated with those presentations. Not to say they are not important but they do tend to drive me to sleeping. I definitely would have woken up with the cake. :-)

I'm laughing so hard that I can hardly type this, let alone put together a coherent thought!!! Seriously funny!!! I'm also wondering what punishment was doled out to the boss for bringing said cake to work!

Awesome site!! This cracks me up every day! All I can say is WOW for this cake! I'd guess that HR's mission statement at this company would be something like: We pat...errr...put the ASS in HARASSMENT.

Oh my god - I can see it now...Angela refuses to eat the cake, Jim and Pam try to explain to Michael why it's an inappropriate confection and Dwight explains why he doesn't believe in sexual harassment....too bad Toby's gone to Costa Rica! He'd have a field day with that!!

The manager probably didn't want to pu together an anti-harassment seminar, so he got to brainstorming. He figured, "Hey, everyone likes sweets, right? Everyone knows if you write stuff on cake, that makes it EVEN MORE TRUE. Yeah, I think I know how to handle this one!"

Nice cake, as are they all. You make my day. And, as a show of gratitude for all your bloggy goodness, I've given you an award...just pop by my blog when you get a spare moment and you can grab it and go...be sure to share the love with some of your favorite bloggers.

I'm going to assume that the boss decided to pick up a cake for his office as a sort of apology for making them all sit through one of those sensitivity training seminars..but does the fact that he still had it illustrated mean that he knew no one was paying attention anyway...or that he just didn't care ;)

I work in HR and this has got to be the funniest thing I have ever seen as far as sexual harassment training goes. Talk about missing the point yet...what a great way to ummmm....motivate your employees? it's just a hot mess!

We work at a theater and he bought it in on the last day of last year's season (summer '07) as a joke in response to all the "LOL SEXUAL HARASSMENT" jokes going on (after the ridiculous anti-sexual harassment meeting, sexual innuendos just became funnier). His brother, who works at a bakery, designed the cake for him/us.

As for the trouble my boss got in... the boss above him saw it and forced him to call everyone working at the theater and give them a personal lecture on why sexual harassment is wrong.

a friend of mine said that OSHA (occupational health, etc) can be summed up in one phrase, "If it's wet and not your's, don't touch it!" LOL...too bad we didn't have this cake at the latest sexual harassment seminar...OMG!

I haven't laughed so hard in at least a year-- and at work, no less. People are going to start wondering WTF is wrong with me, since I'm trying to hold it in and failing miserably, resulting in something between a snort and a bray.

The cake was hilarious, but the COMMENTARY-- oh man. No words left. I'm sending this to everyone I know. Great work.

Thank you so much. I'm a homeschooling mom with five kids and a working nurse. My days are so busy and sometimes I get overwhelmed. When that happens, I come here and laugh like a lunatic until I feel better. My kids ask to visit this site, too. So, thank you. I swear, you're providing a service!

That cake is way too hilarious. Detachable head, missing limbs, inappropriate subject matter...CLASSIC! I do have to admit, the first time I saw it I instantly assumed it was an illustration of some airport security procedure gone horribly wrong...

Reminds me of the day I sent a guy friend (I'm a girl) in another part of the company, a special cupcake from the local erotic bakery. It had a nice pair of girls on it, which he would surely appreciate. But, he received it during a staff meeting, where they played the sexual harassment video. Lots of fun t hat day and a huge thank you from the entire group for making that the finniest staff meeting ever.

she was so asking for it! Would not one normally stand when getting slapped on the ass? Unless one were expecting a slap on the ass would one lean such as the young lady in the drawing. It just doesn't make sense.

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
